Just listen to the recording of his singing "Getting Tall" from "Nine" on his website. Sam has a beautiful angelic voice. Welcome Sam! :D

Finally...an ethnic Michael.:) Not the first time I've heard of this kid, he's one on Thommie's students I believe and he's raved about him.

Good observation Steven. On the resume tab on Sam's website, Thommie is listed among his dance trainers. Small world. 8-)

Sam's fan page posted today that he is rehearsing in Boston. It sounds like he may be joining the tour fairly soon.
Sam is rehearsing in Boston.....So many great things to do. It's fun to be back in the city where he finished his run in Les Mis.

Sam did indeed start as Michael tonight, with Kyland as Billy, and he did a great job for a first effort. I was impressed.
